About

At Kara-Tara, we focus on hand-crafting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—classic Burgundian varietals—from cool-climate vineyards in the Western Cape.

Our mission is to make elegant wines which are modern in profile—fresh and redolent of vibrant fruit. By sourcing premium grapes from diverse cool-climate regions such as Elgin, Overberg, Durbanville, and Stellenbosch, we aim to showcase the potential and quality of South Africa’s top grape growing sites.

Carefully considered vineyard variables such as soil type, elevation, microclimate, and rainfall inform the winemaking process. The hand-harvested grapes are vinified at our cellar in Stellenbosch; crafted using traditional methods, with minimal intervention and careful barrel maturation in French oak.

Product Features

• The Kara-Tara Chardonnay is a fresh and elegant expression of this classic varietal, harmoniously balancing zesty citrus and ripe tropical fruit with a refined cool-climate minerality and a subtle saline nuance.
• Pale straw in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of tropical fruit, orange and lime zest, and a touch of butterscotch.
• On the palate, vibrant notes of passionfruit and pineapple are layered with hints of flint, while the well-integrated acidity and creamy mouthfeel carry through to a rich, mineral-laced finish.
• Paired perfectly with a seafood dish.
